Take a Moment to Consider Your Next Dublin, Ireland Holiday Plan
Let's consider which Dublin, Ireland landmarks you must consider hitting, before you jump on an airplane and head off to the land of rainbows and mead.
No need to be timid, or weary of traveling through the green countryside either.
If you're an American woman looking for a little taste of adventure, and hoping to gain a few points with the fellows by featuring your prominently American accent, there is plenty of fun to be had here too.
But we'll focus on Dublin first.
Most people start their trip in Dublin International Airport (a bit out of the way -- located in Collinstown) which is a far outside of the downtown action.
But not to worry.
Over twenty million people a year come through the airport, so once you are there, it's time to head out to the sights.
Consider stopping first at Malahide Castle.
If storybook palaces is your thing, then you're in for a treat.
Because, this castle sits on over 200 acres of pristine parkland and features dozens of rooms on the tour.
Explore this family home of the 'Talbots' which features nooks and crannies so old, they have remained where they lie since their original construction in 1185.
It really doesn't get much better than warmly snuggling in to your traditional Irish Bed and Breakfast, and sitting by the fireplace to have a nice fireside chat with other recently acquainted hotel guests, or even the staff themselves.
Often, the hotel itself would have been in the family's name for generation upon generation, and, usually, one of them is only too happy to start and share a memory or two, about times long past.
Be warned, because the Irish are a social people, and such conversations have a tendency to stroll into the wee hours of the night, or beyond.
Then you should consider heading off toward The Casino.
A building left over from the 18th century, the casino was the 'pleasure palace' of James Caulfield -- the Earl of Charlemont.
Stroll through the Casino's manicured grounds and take a guided tour through her 16 lavishly decorated rooms.
Stopping at these two spots would easily make a good start to your Dublin tour.
But no Dublin tour would be complete without a trip to the pub.
And fortunately, direction is not needed here.
Chances are, there's a great one right outside your hotel room -- anywhere in Dublin!
